• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: When this Question was put before the House for answering, there were some facts that were not laid before this House on the question of the sub judice rule concerning this matter. With your indulgence, I intend to lay on the Table of this House the relevant documents indicating and substantiating that the rule of sub judice would still apply on this matter. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may now invite the hon. Members to look at Standing Order No.80 (2) which says:- “A matter shall be considered to be sub judice when it refers to active criminal or civil proceedings and the discussion of such matter is likely to prejudice its fair determination.” view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Standing Order No.80 (3) (c) says:- “Civil proceedings shall be deemed to be active when arrangements for hearing such as setting down a case for trial, have been made, until the proceedings are ended by judgment or discontinuance.” view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Standing Order No.80 (3) (d) says:- “appellate proceedings whether criminal or civil shall be deemed to active from the time when they are commenced by application for leave to appeal or by notice of appeal until the proceedings are ended by judgment or discontinuance.” I wish to inform this House that indeed there was a civil suit which was brought against the Teachers’ Service Commission in the High Court in Nakuru. It was adjudicated up and a verdict given. Because of the adverse effects that the TSC stood to reap out of that court proceeding and the court judgment, it ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given the dimension of this problem, it would not add value at this stage in time. The matter before the Court of Appeal is very weighty and has far reaching implications on both the pronounced policy and the level at which this matter was renegotiated. Therefore, there are grey areas that do need the court of appeal to determine the direction. In as far as the policy issue is concerned, we thought the matter had been put to rest until this issue came up in the Court of Appeal. They raised issues that were far reaching in ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) During the 2009/2010, Budget Speech, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance initiated the Economic Stimulus Programme (EST) aimed at jump starting the economy towards long term growth and development, securing the livelihood of Kenyans and addressing the challenges of regional and inter-generational inequity. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education was mandated to hire intern teachers in both primary and secondary schools. This strategy was to relieve parents the burden of paying teachers in this period of economic hardships. Nevertheless, this does not constitute a change of policy in the recruitment ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am really amenable to either way. At the moment, the policy which has been informed by this very same House and Budgetary Estimates passed in this very same House through the Budget Speech indicate that the last financial year ending 30th of June, this year the funds were being channelled through EST in order to alleviate, not only the Ministry of Education in the way of employment of teachers, but also in the other social sectors that are very much disturbed by the low calibre of teachers. I am very distressed because the shortage of ... view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have not miserably failed. I think the hon. Member will understand the circumstances surrounding these events. Being a seasoned lawyer, I think he will fully appreciate that there are certain confines that we cannot go beyond. Having said that, both the School Management Committees (SMCs) and the BoGs have done a sterling job in employing extra teachers in order to fill the gap that the Government has not been able to fill through the normal provisions of employment on permanent and pensionable terms. If you look at the remuneration package for those who are being ... view
